Montes Agricola is an elongated range of mountains near the eastern edge of the central Oceanus Procellarum lunar mare. It lies just to the northwest of a plateau containing the craters Herodotus and Aristarchus. The selenographic coordinates of this range are . It continues for a distance of 160 kilometres. This range is a long, slender ridge formation that is more rugged at the northeastern end. There is also a rise at the southwest terminus of the range. The faint trace of a ray parallels the range just to the north. The 20 km gap between this range and the plateau to the south is covered by a flow of basaltic lava. There is a small wrinkle ridge near the northern part that is identified as Dorsum Niggli. This range is named after Georgius Agricola. ==External links== * (LTO-38B2 Nielsen ) — L&PI topographic map of the Montes Agricola and vicinity. * (Montes Agricola ) in Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Montes Agricola」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
